POCKETS HOLD THE LETTERS

Useful Case That Will Remind Woman of the Exact Status of Her Correspondence. For anyone who la not in the habit or, perhaps, may be unable to answer letters directly they are received, a

ease provided with pockets in which answered and unanswered letters may be kept -quite separate from each other, is a very necessary possession. In our sketch we show a practical

and useful article for this purpose, und the material in which it may be ‘lurried out is almost a matter of choice. Silk, art serge, art linen or casement cloth would do equally well and, the case should be lined with soft silk or sateen and bound at the edge* with narrow ribbon or braid, according to the material that has been selected lor its manufacture. The front and back should be itlffened with thin cardboard sewn I* between the cover and tbe lining. Tllere is a fold-over flap which bends over the top of the case and fastens to the lower part of the front with ribton strings. On this flap the word 'tetters” is embroidered, and inside, at the head of one of the divisions, is worked the word “unanswered” and on the other, “answered,” so that it may be seen at a glance which letters require attention. The upper sketch shows the tase open with the letters exposed to tiew and in the lower, it is closed and. secured with the ribbon strings. A useful case can be made oa exactly the same lines for paid or unpaid bills.
